Everyone who knows me knows I am on a mission not only to feed our family better, but to get other parents to realize that they can make better choices about the nutrition and well being of their children. Nutritional intervention isn't easy, but it works.

Regular People Meatballs Recipe (Gluten Free)

I apologize to all the vegetarians but my kids thrive on protein. I boil the meatballs in beef broth because my daughter doesn't like tomato sauce. It is so easy and they stay juicy. Then I pour tomato sauce on top of my son's. I had to post this recipe tonight, before I forgot, because I FINALLY managed to make, what my husband calls, "regular people" meatballs. I usually make things with too much garlic or spice when my family prefers plainer, simpler food.

Chop the onion finely and saute in olive oil until soft. Add 1 clove of crushed garlic and spices. Let cool so it isn't too hot. Add to meat with seasonings, an egg and breadcrumbs. Form into 1 inch balls and simmer in broth or sauce for 15 minutes. It might take a few batches to cook all of them depending on how much broth or sauce you have.
